On the rugged coast of Maine, Pyke Island is known for its lobster traps, cold surf, and quiet winters. But beneath its weathered charm lies a history people don’t talk about. When a woman wakes in a remote cabin—bloodied, confused, and alone—she’s pulled into a mystery that threads through the island’s past and its dangerous present.

As she searches for the truth, whispers rise: a smuggling ring operating in the shadows, a Hollywood producer who vanished without explanation, and an island community skilled at keeping its own counsel. What she uncovers will challenge everything she believes about who she is—and who she can trust.

This revised edition deepens the suspense and emotional stakes, offering an even richer exploration of survival, identity, and the pull of long-buried secrets.

Perfect for readers drawn to small-town mysteries, island suspense, and character-driven thrillers with an environmental edge, A Fickle Tide launches the Pyke Island Mystery in Downeast Maine Series with icy tension and a coastal setting you won’t forget.
